      The authors obtain the equation of the lines of curvature for immersions of surfaces into \(\mathbb{R}^4\). They also give the following stability result: the set of smooth immersions \(f: M\to\mathbb{R}^4\) such that every umbilic point is locally topologically stable, is open and dense in \({\mathcal I}_4(M)\), where \({\mathcal I}_4(M)\) is the set of all immersions \(M\to\mathbb{R}^4\) endowed with the \(C^\infty\)-topology.
